"a The County Commissioners of the
State ask the Legislature to change the law
so that the expense of maintaining armories
for militia companies, should be charge on
the State treasury, instead of on the county.
Formerly municipal corporations had to
foot the bill. The State should bear the ex-
pense, as the troops are subject only to the
call of the Governor, and enlisted in the ser
vice of the State.

W Dom Piatt, in the North American
Reuietu, says President Cleveland ''has won
the liking of the masses and conquered the
respect of his political enemies by sturdy,
almost obstinate adhesion to what he holds
to be good. He has in healthy operation a
brain power that gives the best results of
what is known as strong common sense, and
his motive power is conscientious desire to
do his duty. He comes nearer to what is
known under the threadbare phrase of man
of the people than any prominent figure since
the days of Andrew Jackson"
